Berkeley, CA, Needs Progressives To
Help Win Elections NOW!

There are only four more weeks until the elections here in Berkeley, and we
need local volunteers to help us elect a progressive mayor and city council,
as well as pass groundbreaking public finance laws right here in our home town.
And, if you're NOT in Berkeley, you can help, too, if you would like!

Bernie's first elected office was Mayor of Burlington, VT, a small town of
40,000 people. If volunteers had not worked hard to elect him and five
city council members in local city elections, the Bernie we now know would
never have existed. Both Senator Sanders and our favorite, Jill Stein,
have encouraged us to support down-ballot Progressive candidates;
we need to take our local city politics very seriously -- we have great
candidates who cannot win without your help!

Some of us local folks from the Bernie and Jill efforts have volunteered to
be point people with all the information you need to get plugged into our local
campaigns -- and we're in luck because most of the progressives in Berkeley
are canvassing together.

Think about it...What have YOU done for the Progressive Causesince the Democratic Primary?

If we in and around Berkeley pull together now - with maybe some support
from our extended Progressive community - we can pass public financing of
elections in Berkeley with the X1 campaign. Measure X1 really needs your
help, and level the playing field for future Berkeley elections.

Help us in Berkeley also elect Progressives for mayor, city council, rent
board, BART board, and CA state senate. With your help, we can create the
kind of progressive stronghold in Berkeley that will allow the next
generation of Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein Progressives to flourish.

If you are local to Berkeley and want to get plugged in, please either
email Anna Callahan at AnnaCallahan at gmail dot com, or call her at 617-842-2662.

If you are farther afield, you can help in two ways: First, you can
always contribute $$ - you know, the average $27 donation can do wonders! -
and, you can, here on TheTroyPress.com help with opposition research,
help us publish here informatiomn that's helpful to these locals and otherwise
get the word out to your family / friends who may be in Berkeley.
